Our first night after Red Bay, we spent at a Walmart in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Walmart welcomes RV'ers to stay overnight in their parking lots. This has created a lot of loyalty among full time RV'ers. There were two security cars that roamed the parking lot all night and one parked in front of our motorhome. We felt extra safe. We headed next to Sunrise RV Park in Texarkana, Arkansas. We could only stay one night here as they were expecting a group of campers who were taking up all the campsites.That was ok with us, as it would just put us into Dallas a little earlier.
Famous last words. The next morning as we prepared to leave, I pushed the driver side slide button and I heard a familiar but haunting sound. The slide wouldn't come in. It was Sunday morning, could Coach-net come through again. We notified the office of our problem. They were super. Coach-net found us a repairman, but he was in church and would come out after he had gotten some lunch. When he came out he didn't have the part and we would have to wait until the parts store opened in the morning before we could get on our way.
In the meantime, the camping group had arrived and settled in all around us. This was a group caravaning together to a regional Family Motor Coach Association rally. They were great folks. Everyone had stories of their similar problems. No one was upset that we had crashed their party. We really appreciated all their support and advise. We decided right there and then we would have to join this group.
The next morning, the repair came back with the part and we were on our way. Thank you Sunrise RV Park and FMCA for your hospitality and understanding.
